Human Anatomy Nutrition Unit

We spent some time last week learning about Human Anatomy Nutrition.

I purchased, printed off, and laminated the Nutrition set from Montessori Print Shop, so the kids could sort out different foods into the correct food groups. It is a beautiful set with real life pictures of foods.

The set comes with picture cards, definitions, picture labels, and just word labels.

The control chart.

Here is the cards and control sheet stored all in a basket on the science shelves

Anthony was very excited to pick this off the shelves.

Fruit and Vegetable sort using the felt board.

Enchanted Learning had this page about food groups I printed off and laminated and added to our felt board. We talked about portion control and what the USDA recommends

After discussing the different food groups, the kids worked on this nutrition page, I printed one off for each of the kids to make and add to our lapbook. This page was one of the free printables found in the younger human body lapbook at homeschool Share.

They forgot to read the spot that said don’t try to fit all the food on the page….

I also added this page to the felt board for the week. It contains an a-z list of super food and what they do or prevent that makes them “super foods.”

The kids filled out this page putting all the super foods putting them all in alphabetical order.

Cody and Anthony read An Apple a Day I printed off from Reading a-z, they also did the comprehension pages to go along with the story.

Online Human Anatomy Nutrition Unit Resources:

Super Kids Nutrition has the A-Z Super Foods we used along with a bunch of other great nutrition print outs.

Awesome! We recently did a unit on nutrition. I made a little magnetized food pyramid on the fridge; each time we ate a meal the kids put up magnet markers on each spot on the pyramid depending on how many servings of each food group we had eaten. Makes you stop and realize if you’re on track for a balanced diet.

Wow! You have so many fabulous resources here for nutrition! I love how your kiddos fit all the pictures on the one page, lol! I do like the new USDA plate-based recommendations. Thank you so much for linking up at Teach Me Tuesday–I can’t wait to see what you’re up to next week!

CarlaThank you for your compliments, they are very much appreciated! I do like the new USDA plate recommendations as well I think it is a lot easier for the kids to understand! Thanks for hosting Teach Me Tuesday, and taking the time to stop by!

We just started a study on food around the world, so thanks for all the great ideas! Thanks for linking up at Thinky Linky Thursday this week! We are happy to have your ideas.Lori @ Cachey Mama’s Classroom
